The Brewers took two out of three games against the Giants this weekend. They hold first place in the NL Central over the Cardinals by just a hair. Milwaukee’s winning percentage is .533, versus .532 for St. Louis.
This could be the most exciting division race of the year. The last-place Pirates are only five games out; this in a division with six teams.
The magic number for eliminating the third-place Reds is down to a mere 85. The next stretch of the Brewers’ schedule is heavy on home games. But they’ll be playing good teams (Mets, Cubs, Cardinals, Dodgers), which could negate home-field advantage. We’ll see what comes of it.
Inertia Wins!
